Tiger and software sales….

Over the last 6 weeks or so I have seen a steady drop off in sales of MMISoftware programs. I hope this is due to the imminent arrival of Tiger and that people are holding off on software purchases until the release on Friday.

As soon as Tiger arrives, and all MMISoftware programs have been tested against the final version, any needed updates will be released. So, watch this space…

Been there…

and done that!

This week (Tuesday I believe) saw a very important birthday in the computing world, the 40th birthday of Moore’s law…

I don’t know what is more scary, that fact that the number of transistors on a chip has doubled every 24 months for the past 40 years, or the fact that Intel offered a $10,000 reward for a copy of the magazine on ebay and some one in the UK had the thing under their floor-boards!
